This is not that bad but it's a bit less intuitive. Here we
also have
shortening of "current" which just saves three characters, for
no reason.
I think it's mostly std.algorithm that is the problem.
And also having to import std.algorithm. In Ruby you can do
map, sort and whatever without using an import. You use it so
often that an import is annoying.
I often find myself importing std.algorithm, std.array and
std.range even for the simplest things. std.string, std.ascii,
std.conv, std.stdio is also quite common at the top of my files..
And *then* I import modules more specific for the problem I'm
going to solve :) I sometimes wish I was using an editor that
automatically added the imports for me.
